On Friday (July 17, 2026), Delta Air Lines announced the launch of new direct service between Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Manila (MNL) in the Philippines.  Starting March 28, 2027, Delta will become the only U.S. carrier to offer nonstop service between Los Angeles and Manila, further expanding their Airbus A350-900 network from LAX.  Delta’s flagship Airbus A350-900, features four distinct seating products, including Delta One, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort and Delta Main.  The route will operate three times weekly from March 28th before increasing to daily flights on June 7, 2027. 


In Friday’s announcement, Delta Air Lines’ Vice President of Network Planning, Jeff Arinder, said,


“Customers traveling through Los Angeles continue to benefit from Delta’s investments in LAX, including an expanding Asia-Pacific network and the opening of our second Delta One Lounge.  The addition of Manila builds on the world-class travel experience our customers have come to expect from Delta while strengthening our position as LAX’s leading global carrier and premier West Coast hub.” 


As the Philippines’ primary international gateway, Manila is the starting point for journeys throughout the country, opening the door to the country’s diverse landscapes, vibrant communities and world-renowned island destinations.  Delta’s new nonstop service creates an important new link between Southern California and one of Asia’s fastest-growing markets.  The new Manila route strengthens Delta’s partnership with Korean Air.  Customers already enjoy convenient access to the Philippines through Korean Air’s multiple daily flights between Seoul Incheon (ICN) and Manila, and the joint venture with Delta connects customers to over 260 destinations in the Americas and more than 60 destinations across Asia.


When flying with Delta from LAX, the premium experience begins well before boarding.  Delta One customers traveling to Manila can enjoy access to exclusive Delta One check-in and security and Delta’s two Delta One Lounges, including the newly opened Terminal 2 location, which offers a more intimate experience featuring elevated dining, thoughtfully designed spaces and personalized service before departure.  The recent opening makes LAX the first airport in Delta’s network to offer two Delta One Lounges.  By 2028, Delta will offer four dedicated lounge spaces at LAX totaling more than 60,000 square feet and over 1,000 seats, alongside continued enhancements across Terminals 2 and 3.
